Analysis: Trump’s New Travel Ban Will Face Another Tough Legal Battle

Tom Lee was quoted in USA Today about President Trump’s revised travel ban and how it affects higher education.

Thomas Lee, an international law professor at Fordham University School of Law, said Trump is on stronger legal footing now because all current professors and students are allowed to travel freely.

Still, Washington and other states could again argue that the revised ban hurts economically because it prevents state universities from recruiting future students and professors from the banned countries, Lee said. “Those are physical, concrete injuries,” he said.
